During the first half of the year, the Sensex saw a volatility of almost one per cent on a daily basis. While during the second half of the year, the Sensex registered only one in five such movements, indicating a reduction in market volat...

Faceless Assessment Meaningless: Network of Officers-Advocate-CA set up

Image
- Antenna : Vivek Mehta - If the tax payer of Ahmedabad goes to Allahabad for return assessment, the officials there are ready to set up a network and settle corruption cases. Income Tax Assessing Officers, Advocates and Chartered Accountants working as tax consultants across India have colluded to create a system that renders the process of faceless assessment meaningless. Even in faceless assessment, Orissa authorities are contacting the tax payers of Ahmedabad and making the local assessing officers an intermediary to understand their income tax returns. Syndicates of Local Assessing Officers and Local Advocates are also reported to have been formed. Thus, while the government is moving in leaps and bounds, the income tax officers, advocates and chartered accountants are advancing step by step and making the faceless assessment system of the government ineffective. The taxpayers of Ahmedabad have been getting calls like this from outside the village. As a result, the government...

It is necessary to be very careful about taxation in GST

Image
- Sales Tax : Soham Mashruwala Not all tax credits are recoverable under the GST law. As the law is amended in the matter of tax credit, suffering tax credit is like chewing iron gram. Under Section 16 of the GST Act, a substantial provision has been made and Rule 36 has been framed accordingly. It is further provided that the recipient cannot avail the tax credit unless the correct details are shown in the supplier's GSTR 1 which results in the details appearing in the recipient's GSTR2B. Today's article discusses such an unfair provision regarding tax credits. Situation before 1.10.2019 When the GST law came in, it was suggested to fill the form that until the information of GSTR 2 filled by the supplier is obtained with the information of GSTR1, the recipient will not be able to take his tax credit in the GSTR3 form. Because of this, there was no provision in Section 16 that tax would not be payable unless the transaction was shown in the books. GSTR2A was informatio...

- Confusion of economics: Dhawal Mehta - The savior or liberator thinking has ended from the world Even though wars of ideology were going on for about 25 years before and after India's independence, there does not seem to have been a single emancipatory thought, emancipatory leader or emancipatory class in India as well as in the world. When the Communist Revolution took place in Russia in 1917, many people believed that a Communist Party and a Communist nation had emerged that would implement a classless society in the world. Even China, the world's most populous country, saw the rise of a communist government under Mao's leadership after the end of World War II, but failed miserably to create a classless, exploitation-free society. The reverse happened. The shackles of the workers were not broken (remember Marx promised that if you bring about a communist revolution, 'you have nothing to loose but your chains') the theory of communism and the transformation of...

Let's not keep Nirav Modi in jail

Image
- Smile Index : Vanity - He can be assigned jobs like loan advisor for banks, fund manager for government projects and hero of his own biopic in Bollywood. Brain drain is a huge problem in India. A lot of brilliant geniuses go abroad to pursue careers, but now there is a lucky coincidence that India's own brain Nirav Modi can come back to India with a welcome coin from the UK. Some prison authorities are already enthusiastic about making Nirav Modi's historic comeback to India. He hopes that after spending a few days in the cell, Nirav Modi will guide him on who to bottle and why to get money for the renovation of the jail. However, it is not right for a talent like Nirav to sit in jail. If such talented people are in jail, nothing will happen more than heroines like Jacqueline Fernandez can get some gifts. Instead Nirav's talent should be utilized at the national level. By keeping Nirav in jail, if he has ponds or gardening, his earnings will not even cover the bank...
